Hi Perry, Nostabo...that would be me...I mean that is my username on the OOoForums. Good to see you here and welcome to OOoAuthors... If you have the ability (basically the disk space, about 200mb) to run a concurrent version of the OOo version 2 beta, download the latest release from here: http://download.openoffice.org/680/index.html There are good instructions there on how to set it up, and it is a snap with Windows...the Linux setup (rpm based) is not that great. This page, http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide2/contribute#review, has all the info you will need to get started, but you will still need some help...I did, but that's what the mailing list is for. -- Regards, Rick Barnes www.nostabo.net ******************************************************************* PRIVILEGED - PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL This electronic mail is solely for the use of the addressee and may contain information which is confidential or privileged.
